Bill was likewise displeased with the Grammys’ 50th-anniversary hip hop tribute … keeping in mind the absence of West Coast artists, in addition to missing out on numerous female rap greats such as MC Lyte, Da Brat, Foxy Brown and Lil Kim — a belief Lola Brooke actually just shared with us.
Despite Questlove‘s best shots, Bill says hip hop history cannot be condensed or covered in 2 minutes and they need to’ve included a Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre set, T.I., 8Ball & MJG … or nixed the concept entirely!!!
Fat Joe feels comparable to Bill, having actually gone on yet another rant previously today about losing his 2018 Grammy to Chance the Rapper.

Don’t fret people … the Grammys just occur as soon as a year. Save that anger for another 378 days approximately.
